Synthetic Chromosomes in Yeast: A Platform for Understanding and Programming Eukaryotic Life
1 Introduction Chromosomes shape cellular function by defining the genes a cell carries and the genomic context in which those genes are regulated and act together (Sexton and Cavalli 2015; Coradini et al. 2020; Brooks et al. 2022). The same chromosomal context also shapes evolution by influencing how heritable variation arises and persists (Ellegren and Galtier 2016; Charlesworth and Jensen 2021).
Leveraging remote sensing and crowd-sourced biodiversity data for enhanced plant functional trait mapping
|
Abstract High-resolution maps of plant functional traits are crucial for understanding terrestrial ecosystem processes; however, their integration into ecosystem models has been hindered by uncertainties and a lack of spatially detailed data.

Crowdsourced biodiversity monitoring fills gaps in global plant trait mapping - Nature Communications
|
Abstract Plant functional traits are fundamental to ecosystem dynamics and Earth system processes, but their global characterization is limited by available field surveys and trait measurements. Recent expansions in biodiversity data aggregation—including vegetation surveys, citizen science observations, and trait measurements—offer new opportunities to overcome these constraints.

From smartphones to satellites: Uniting crowdsourced biodiversity monitoring and Earth observation to fill the gaps in global plant trait mapping
Abstract Plant functional traits are fundamental to ecosystem dynamics and Earth system processes, but their global characterization is limited by the availability of field surveys and trait measurements. Recent expansions in biodiversity data aggregation, including large collections of vegetation surveys, citizen science observations, and trait measurements, offer new opportunities to overcome these constraints.
CKE Restaurants' rebranding should include tougher animal welfare rules
As a Tennessee native with a knack for following local and national food trends, it caught my eye that CKE Restaurants, the parent company of Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s, recently relocated its headquarters to the stately Two Franklin Park building in Cool Springs. What’s most notable about this move is that it’s accompanied by a larger company overhaul, including a new CEO, new advertising direction, and new brand ethos.
